TOM COUGLIN HAS NO PLANS TO RETIRE, EVEN F THE GIANTS WIN THE SUPER BOWL

"There's been much speculation this season about the status of New York
Giants head coach Tom
Coughlin. If he failed to make the playoffs, would the team fire him? What
would be enough to save his job? And if he won it all, would he retire?

All of those questions have now been answered.

Following his seventh playoff road victory, tying legendary coach Tom Landry
for the most in NFL history,
Coughlin received quite a bit of support from owner John Mara, who laughed at
the notion of the coach ever being on the hot seat.

"Tell you what, I've got a stack of letters on my desk (that say) 'Fire Tom
Coughlin'. I look forward to responding to them," Mara said. "I held on to
them, waiting for the right time to respond. I think this might be the right
time."

"I feel good … I still love what I do," Coughlin said. "Retire to do
what?"

Coughlin may be one of the most underrated coaches in the entire league. He's
consistently successful and gets the most out of his players. For anyone that's
actually watched the Giants this year, it's obvious the team loves playing for
him – just watch the postgame celebration after they defeated the New England
Patriots in week nine or the embrace with Brandon Jacobs during the Atlanta
Falcons wildcard game.

The Giants and their fans should consider themselves lucky to have such a
high caliber coach, and would benefit from him sticking around for many years to
come.

With a year remaining on his current contract, it's almost a certainty that
he gets an extension during the offseason."
